Rudolph Returns Sunny Skies and Smiles Greet the Christmas Parade he annual Los Gatos Christmas Parade was greeted with unusual excitement this year - there was actually a parade! Many Los Gatos residents remem- bered all too well the fate of last vear's parade, and the rain that kept everyone, including good ol' Rudolph, inside. December 1, 1984, was met with sunny skies and smiles all around, not to mention more than a mile's worth of kids and those that are young of heart lined up along North Santa Cruz Avenue in downtown Los Gatos. And at precise- ly 10:00 AM, the crowd grew Silent as they heard them, the Los Gatos High School Marching Band, playing Sleigh Ride in the spirit of Christmas. The parade had begun! But the parade was notjust watching a bunch of bands, a lot of horses, and about a million indian Guides walking down a street for the fun of it. The parade, for those who were involved, was actually hard work and intense com- petition. Junior Julie Yamato, a member of the Wildcat marching band said, We lthe bandl had been practicing for this parade for almost a month. The competition could really get tough. It was not as easy as it looked to get one hundred people all marching and playing the right notes simultaneously. The color guard also practiced hard for the Christmas Parade. It was their laSt competition of the year, and probably the hardest one to win. Nevertheless, the small flag team walked away with the first place trophy for their category. Much hard work was also put into the making of the annual high school float. Rudolph returned on December 1, to thoroughly delight the observers of the parade, not to mention sweeping the judges off their seats. Most of the initial hard work was done by Mr. Simon in accordance with the sophomore class officers, who were later helped by many other students interested in decorating Rudolph and his sleigh with paper napkins. Despite cold weather, many people showed up the night before the parade at the corporation yard in downtown Los Gatos to partici- pate in tl'liS arlrlual event. All the hard WOl'k paid Off irl the end when Junior Ray Debenedetto, designer of the float, accepted on behalf of the school a first place award. Rudolph, unfortunately, never learned of his accomplish- ment, having burst into flames at the end of the parade when the engine over-heated. 28 f Activities X arts il
